2014-03-18 00:36:18| Powells Books Events Calendar

Cesar Chavez founded a labor union, launched a movement, and inspired a generation. He rose from migrant worker to national icon, becoming one of the great charismatic leaders of the 20th century. Two decades after his death, Chavez remains the most significant Latino leader in U.S. history. Yet his life story has been told only in hagiography — until now. In The Crusades of Cesar Chavez (Bloomsbury), Pulitzer Prize-winner Miriam Pawel offers a searching yet empathetic portrayal, revealing how this most unlikely American hero ignited one of the great social movements of our time.
